The England international is currently recovering from an injury.
Eberechi Eze missed the Carabao Cup (EFL Cup) final against Manchester City due to a calf injury. He sustained that against Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.
Arsenal are hoping that Eze will return for their trip to the Etihad Stadium. The original timeline was four to six weeks.
One of the biggest matches of the Premier League season will be the match between Manchester City and Arsenal. The Gunners lead the league standings by nine points, while Pep Guardiola’s team still has a match in hand.
This implies that if the Cityzens win their extra game, the deficit will be cut to six. Additionally, if they defeat Arsenal at the Etihad, it could be further reduced to three points. Many believe that the title race will end if Mikel Arteta’s team defeats Manchester City when they play.

Because of this, Arsenal need all the assistance possible. According to The Mirror, the Gunners are hoping to have Eberechi Eze return for that match.
The Englishman’s availability will be important. The Gunners’ chances of winning will surely rise if he is fit to play. But whether Arsenal’s wish comes true in the upcoming weeks, it is still up in the air.
Arteta has yet to enjoy the pleasure of having a completely fit team at his disposal this season.
